Alternatives

If you already have an app, the alternatives are ad networks and mediation platforms — Google AdMob, Unity Ads, AppLovin MAX, ironSource/Liftoff and Digital Turbine — plus in-app purchases as a non-ad option. If you don't have an app and don't want to build one, the realistic alternatives are hiring a freelance developer to build one for you (which still leaves you owning maintenance and ad-stack integration afterward) or working with another build-and-monetize partner offering the same fixed-payout-then-revenue-share structure. The category is genuinely comparable: evaluate any option on the same questions — what access it needs, how and when it pays, and who carries maintenance cost.
